Kenya’s roads can be bumpy and long. If you prefer to spend your time watching elephants rather than sitting on a dusty road, a fly-in safari is the ultimate luxury. You take light aircraft flights from Nairobi directly into the heart of the Masai Mara, Samburu, or Amboseli.

The Experience: You are picked up from the bush airstrip by your lodge’s private vehicle. You stay in ultra-exclusive high-end lodges or boutique camps that offer gourmet dining, private decks, and sometimes even private plunge pools.
The Vibe: Stress-free and sophisticated. It’s the fastest way to get from the city to the savannah.
